Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of graphite boat storage technology, specifically a graphite boat storage mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, tunnel soldering furnaces, reflow ovens, and wave soldering furnaces are core equipment for soldering circuit boards and electronic components, and are widely used in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, industrial control, and other industries. As electronic products become smaller and denser, the requirements for soldering precision and production efficiency continue to increase. During soldering and baking, graphite boats are needed as carriers to support the products.

[0003] After the tunnel welding furnace, reflow oven, and wave soldering furnace have completed their operations, the graphite boats need to be separated from the products for material collection. Therefore, the graphite boats need to be recycled and stored. In the existing technology, a simple frame is used to place the graphite boats. During recycling and storage, after the graphite boats on the frame are stacked, the empty frame needs to be moved to store graphite boats. This means that the graphite boats cannot be stored continuously, and the storage efficiency is low during separation. Therefore, a graphite boat storage mechanism is proposed. Utility Model Content

The storage component includes a fixed plate, two fixed blocks are fixedly connected to the outer surface of one side of the top of the fixed plate, and a lead screw is rotatably connected between the two fixed blocks. A drive motor is fixedly installed on the outer surface of one of the fixed blocks, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the lead screw. A threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw, and a storage plate is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the threaded sleeve.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a graphite boat storage mechanism, including a support slide 1 fixed on a receiving machine and a storage component 5. The storage component 5 includes a fixed plate 501, two fixed blocks are fixedly connected to the outer surface of one side of the top of the fixed plate 501, and a lead screw 502 is rotatably connected between the two fixed blocks. A drive motor 503 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of one of the fixed blocks, and the output end of the drive motor 503 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 502. A threaded sleeve 504 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 502, and a storage plate 505 is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the threaded sleeve 504. The outer surface of the storage plate 505 is provided with two workstations. Specifically, when the graphite boats in one workstation are stacked, the drive motor 503 works, drives the lead screw 502 to rotate, the lead screw 502 drives the threaded sleeve 504 to move, and the threaded sleeve 504 drives the storage plate 505 to move, so that the empty workstation moves to the receiving point for receiving, thereby enabling alternating receiving and improving the separation and storage efficiency of graphite boats.

[0022] Furthermore, an extension frame is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed plate 501, and a second Z-axis motor 507 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the extension frame. A lifting block 508 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second Z-axis motor 507. Specifically, the second Z-axis motor 507 drives the lifting block 508 to move upward, so that the lifting block 508 rises to the designated position, thereby starting the material receiving work. As the graphite boat carrier is stacked on the lifting plate, the second Z-axis motor 507 controls the lifting plate to descend layer by layer.

[0023] The top outer surface of the fixed plate 501 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate, and the outer surface of the mounting plate is fixedly installed with a photoelectric sensor. The second Z-axis motor 507 works to drive the lifting block 508 to move upward, so that the lifting block 508 rises to the photoelectric sensor and blocks the light signal of the photoelectric sensor, thereby starting the material receiving work.

[0024] The transmitter and receiver of the photoelectric sensor are integrated in the same device. The transmitter emits a light beam, such as infrared or visible light, into the detection area. When an object enters the area, the light beam is reflected by the object's surface, and part of the reflected light is captured by the receiver. The sensor then determines that an object is present.

[0025] Furthermore, each of the three mutually perpendicular surfaces of the two workstations on the top outer surface of the storage board 505 is provided with a horizontal plate 506. Two side baffles 509 are fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the horizontal plate 506. Specifically, multiple side baffles 509 form a enclosure to limit and enclose the graphite boat.

[0026] Furthermore, the top outer surface of the storage board 505 is provided with a through slot at the center of both workstations to allow the lifting block 508 to pass through. Specifically, the through slot provides space for the lifting block 508 to pass through the storage board 505.

[0027] Furthermore, two linear slide rails 2 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the support slide 1. The output ends of the two linear slide rails 2 are respectively equipped with a frame clamping mechanism 3 and a graphite boat suction mechanism 4. Specifically, the frame clamping mechanism 3 and the graphite boat suction mechanism 4 are driven to move by the two linear slide rails 2 respectively. The frame clamping mechanism 3 clamps the product frame and the graphite boat suction mechanism sucks up the graphite boat.

[0028] Furthermore, the frame clamping mechanism 3 includes a first drive plate 301 connected to the output end of one of the linear slide rails 2. A first Z-axis motor 302 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the first drive plate 301. A connecting plate 303 is mounted on the output end of the first Z-axis motor 302. A gate-shaped air distribution block 304 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 303. X-axis bidirectional slide cylinders are mounted on the opposite outer surfaces of the left and right sides of the air distribution block 304. Y-axis slide cylinders 305 are mounted on both output ends of the X-axis bidirectional slide cylinders. A connecting device for clamping the product frame is mounted on the output end of the Y-axis slide cylinder 305. Plate 303 and air distribution block 304 are connected to X-axis bidirectional slide cylinder, Y-axis slide cylinder 305 and connecting plate 303 respectively through connecting air pipes. Specifically, the linear slide rail 2 on the support slide 1 works, the linear slide rail 2 drives the frame clamping mechanism 3 to move, the first Z-axis motor 302 drives the connecting plate 303 to move downward, the two claws of the connecting plate 303 correspond to the through hole of the product, the connecting plate 303 clamps the product through the through hole, and then the first Z-axis motor 302 works in reverse, driving the clamped product frame to move upward, completing the separation of the product frame from the graphite boat.

[0029] It is worth noting that the product has through holes, and the two grippers of the connecting plate 303 correspond to these through holes. The connecting plate 303 uses the compression and release of gas to control the opening and closing of the grippers. When a pneumatic pressure signal is input into the cylinder, the gas inside the cylinder is compressed, causing the grippers to close and hold the object. Conversely, when the pneumatic pressure signal stops input, the gas inside the cylinder is released, and the grippers open to release the object. By controlling the input and stop of the pneumatic pressure signal, the movement of the grippers can be precisely controlled, achieving the gripping and release of the object.

[0030] It is also worth noting that the air distribution block 304, also known as the air distribution block or air source distributor, is a key component in the pneumatic system used for centralized management and distribution of compressed air. Its main function is to distribute the compressed air from one or more main air sources to multiple branches according to demand. These branches are for different pneumatic components, including the X-axis bidirectional slide cylinder, the Y-axis slide cylinder 305, and the connecting plate 303. This provides a stable and clean air source, while also facilitating the installation, maintenance, and control of the air circuit.

[0031] Furthermore, the graphite boat suction mechanism 4 includes a second drive plate 401 installed at the output end of one of the linear slide rails 2. A second slide cylinder 402 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the second drive plate 401. A vacuum suction cup 403 is installed at the output end of the second slide cylinder 402. Specifically, by working the linear slide rail 2 on the support slide 1, the linear slide rail 2 drives the second drive plate 401 to move, so that the vacuum suction cup 403 moves to the corresponding position of the graphite boat carrier. By working the second slide cylinder 402, the second slide cylinder 402 drives the vacuum suction cup 403 to move downward, so that the vacuum suction cup 403 adsorbs the graphite boat carrier.

[0032] Working Principle: In use, this utility model utilizes the linear slide rail 2 on the support slide 1. The linear slide rail 2 drives the frame clamping mechanism 3 to move, and the first Z-axis motor 302 drives the connecting plate 303 to move downward. The two grippers of the connecting plate 303 align with the through holes of the product, clamping the product through the through holes. Then, the first Z-axis motor 302 reverses its direction, driving the clamped product frame upward. The linear slide rail 2 on the support slide 1 then drives the second drive plate 401 to move, causing the vacuum suction cup 403 to move to the corresponding position on the graphite boat carrier. The second slide cylinder 402 then drives the vacuum suction cup 403 downward, allowing it to adsorb the graphite boat carrier. Finally, the linear slide rail 2 reverses its direction... The graphite boat carrier, after adsorption, is moved to storage unit 5 for storage. During storage, storage unit 5 operates via a second Z-axis motor 507, which drives a lifting block 508 upwards. This lifts the block to the photoelectric sensor, blocking its light signal and initiating the receiving process. As the graphite boat carriers stack on the lifting plate, the second Z-axis motor 507 controls the lifting plate to descend layer by layer. When a station is full of graphite boats, a drive motor 503 operates, driving a lead screw 502 to rotate. The lead screw 502 moves a threaded sleeve 504, which in turn moves a storage plate 505, moving an empty station to the receiving area for receiving. This allows for alternating receiving, improving the separation and storage efficiency of the graphite boats.
